Book Signings
Saturday, June 29th - 7:00 PM
John Maclean
Mark your calendars! Seeley Lake author John Maclean will be reading from his new work Esperanza Fire: Arson, Murder, and the Agony of Engine 57 on Saturday, June 29, 7:00 PM at The Grizzly Claw Trading Company in downtown Seeley Lake. The Esperanza Fire chronicles a 2006 fire in southern California that killed a five-man Forest Service engine crew and the subsequent conviction and death sentence of Raymond Oyler for setting the fire. The Esperanza Fire marked the first time that an entire engine crew was killed by fire and the first time that an arsonist was successfully prosecuted for murder and for setting a wildland fire.
We hope you will be able to join us. Refreshments will be served.
The Grizzly Claw Trading Company and Alpine Artisans collaborate on book signing presentations. Every author who has read in Seeley Lake has appreciated the opportunity and praised the level of audience participation. These book signings are free and open to anyone interested in writing, reading and writers. They offer an intimate setting in which to meet an author and discuss the challenges of writing and publishing as well as to explore the ideas and inspirations of literary pursuit. Join us for these evenings of adventure, art and camaraderie. Refreshments will be served, so please feel free to bring an hors d'oeuvre or beverage to share!
